Problems Installing Q2006 as Administator and running a Power User

I installed Q2006 as Administrator and then tried to run as a Power User (the way I run everything else). At various stages - Registration and Tax Planner - Quicken tried to install more software but couldn't because, I assume, it needed admin rights. Logging on as Admin and registering solved one of the problems but the Tax Planner problem persists. The symptom is the tries to configure some option, fails because it can't find some files, and then, after the failure, the program is corrupted ad requests a reinstall.

An earlier version of Quicken had this problem but they solved it for Q2005 but it's back again for Q2006.

Anyone else have this problem and know a solution. As a LAST LAST hope, I can try to call Intuit but would like to avoid that.

All the planners (I think) use Internet Explorer and I think that when Quicken is installed, it sets some IE options ... for the user that does the install. You can fiddle around yourself to try to find them (I found one a while back and posted it in the Intuit Quicken forums ... have since forgotten what it was).

If you are the only Quicken user on your pc, you can try another approach - this is a guess. Uninstall Quicken (must be user that installed it, I think). Give your Power User admin rights; then install Quicken as the Power User; then remove the admin rights from the Power User.

Thanks John

I found another solution. I read the Install CD onto my hard drive and then installed from there. Evidently Quicken found what it was looking for when it had access the the hard drive directory.
